Q.

I can't get rid of the flu

Hi Doc, I normally work in an office at my workplace, but now I am on attachment at the other side in the fridges and now I am battling with flu and can't kick it. What is the best medication I can use. I am coughing a lot and my throat is very sore as well because of the flu I picked up due to the new environment which is lower temperatures.

Hi Vince

Yes, it is most probably due to the constant change in temperature that you are not feeling well. I suggest that you take a good multivitamin or immune booster to improve your bodies ability to fight disease. I can suggest Vitathion or Staminogro. You will most probably have to not work in the fridge department for a while, but I think the best will be to ask a doctor to give you a sick certificate. I am concerned that if you do not give your body rest and time to recuperate you will only become more ill and have to be booked off from work for longer. Good luck.
